The nonprofit, which opened its doors 30 years ago, was founded to eliminate the financial barriers to music education.
At Rosie’s House, the music tells a story of opportunity and dreams fulfilled, one note at a time.“Without Rosie’s House, I would never be playing piano,” said Matthew Cox, a student whose talent reflects years of practice, dedication, and access—not just to an instrument, but to skilled instructors who nurture his abilities.“Passion is the drive of what pushes us to pursue music,” Cox added.
“The barrier to participate in music education includes the cost of the lesson, the cost of the instrument,” said CEO Becky Ballard. “The average household income for a Rosie’s House family is below $40,000.”Thanks to community donations, Rosie’s House offers lessons at every level and provides donated instruments to eager students.Alicia Acuna, who started attending at 10 years old with dreams of playing the violin, now performs in her school’s mariachi band.
